It's possible for the body to just not show a bump. Maybe the baby is too close to the spine, maybe it's small. There's been numerous stories about this sort of thing over the years, and not always from fatter women. Bodies are weird and gross and they should just stop being a thing, let's all transcend our physical forms instead.

That's literally what happens in the films though?

no it doesn't you loving nerds, the droids are controlled by those racist-chinese-stereotype alien guys and at no time do they ever rise up against them.

Tiggum posted:

The guys from the first film who don't show up at all in the rest of the trilogy? I watched those films when they came out and never since, but weren't the droid separatists and the trade federation two entirely separate groups both secretly being influenced by Palpatine? You could be right, I don't claim to have any kind of in-depth knowledge of the films, but the impression I got was that everyone thought Grievous was absolutely in charge of the droids and they were a distinct group fighting for independence from the republic. The trade federation blockading Naboo was a whole separate thing.

Fury Road was loving awful, and it had nothing to do with Furiosa being "more than a sex toy." It was just a lovely movie. Most of the friends I have who saw the movie also think it's poo poo, and the closest any of them come to being MRAs is occasionally holding a door for a strong, independent woman even though she is capable of holding it for herself. It's actually possible to not like a crappy movie because it's a crappy movie, and not due to some deep-seated hatred of women. I'd go so far as to say that the vast majority of people who dislike crappy movies like Fury Road are reasonably normal, well-adjusted people, and the misogynist assholes who aren't satisfied by the other three literal sex toys featured in the film are what they've always been: a very loud, very stupid, and very small minority. There are plenty of people who actually do care about the integrity of a movie series they'd previously enjoyed, and there is plenty to dislike in Fury Road on that basis, alone. The childish need to divide the world into "horrible shitbags" and "people who agree with me" is tiresome.

The Separatists include the Chinese stereotypes and also the Muppets in that one meeting that Obi-Wan spies on in Episode II. The droids are remote-controlled, which is the entire basis of Episode I's ending.

it bothers me when these people come into threads i read and draw people into pages long arguments about how Zack Snyder is the greatest director since Orson Welles and if you disagree you're just some fuckin shallow nerd who can't appreciate deep readings of lovely boy's pulp movies

You're imagining all of it! The battle droids had no agency in any of those movies; they were never a "faction". That was the whole point.

The sound of metal chains whipping against bare flesh hang heavy in the air, like a bird flying into a headwind. The room is damp and sparsely lit. SUPERMECHAGODZILLA’s scarred jowls are illuminated by a desk lamp laying sideways on the floor

Which reading is true? Which reading is true? WHICH READING IS TRUE!?

KOOS
[Spits mouthful of blood] The words are used specifically for their literal intention, the events are straightforward so as to be easily understood by an audience of children.

The beating begins again, with a furious vigour, until SUPERMECHAGODZILLA can barely stand. He rests one hand against a dirty wall, sweat marring his 1993 Nebraska Film Festival hypercolor t-shirt.

SUPERMECHAGODZILA
The opposite reading is true… The opposite reading is true. I’ve been to college.

KOOS straightens his posture, his pride and dignity unscathed by the days long assault of a fat, stupid man.

KOOS
Any perceived allusions to facism in A Goofy Movie are a wholesale invention of a misguided viewer.

SUPERMECHAGODZILLA adopts the look of a man who has been defeated. Wearily, he grabs a shotgun that had been resting in the corner, and cocks it loudly.

KOOS
Goofy simply wishes to bond with his son through fishing, a traditional pastime, as he had done with his own father. It is neither parable nor allegory. Neither dog was molested, the material does not support this.

None of yah are up to the task.

because, evolution.

We're not designed like a seahorse.

So we do things differently.

You want a baby? You deal with the consequences of your actions, the courts will make sure the men of your lives, who embark you upon these ordeals, make good on their penis's promises.

That's about as MRA as I wish to get.

Trust me, I've read a bunch of case law, I can see the logic in it all. You want a kid, the courts make it right.

Just......

Trust me.

Cyborgs, they were cyborgs. The Techno Union. They manufacture the bigger battle droids (those with the wrist gun and no neck) and they made Grievous's (and Vader's) cybernetic rig. Together with the Intergalactic Banking Clan, the Trade Federation and the insect people who designed the Death Star, whatever they're called, they form the separatist movement. They show up in a short scene in Attack of the Clones and then again in Revenge of the Sith when Sidious sends Vader to purge them. I feel sorry for them because they were the "bad guys" and very memorable but they barely were in the movies

hackbunny posted:

No, god, the Gungans are routed and taken prisoner. The battle is won by the Naboo space fighters who manage to destroy the droids' remote control, thanks to skilled young Force-sensitive pilot Anakin Skywalker. Ugggh

That's a funny post, but you know that SMG's interpretation isn't invalid, right? It's just incredibly unpopular. There's a difference.



Fair enough. I don't know if it's the fact that I didn't pay that much attention (because the movies were mostly fairly boring) or that they were just badly made movies that didn't communicate information clearly enough to the audience, but what you're saying bears basically no resemblance to what I remember about seeing those films. And I don't even post in CD.

If you basic bitches had even watched episode 2 you would know droids lack sentience because Kenobi talks to that greasy alien who runs the space diner about this very thing! The scene clearly illustrates automation as threat to the working class and how Marx is good.
